The greatest feature of SwixML is that, if you get it right, you can change the layout on the fly indeed.

This is how we do it here, we have a framework to render the XMLs, usually representing panels embedded in a "parent XML" (the JFrame), and we can change the interface looks without restarting the application, it justs gets rendered every time a button is clicked, for instance. Besides that, swixml with form layout patch (found on the Swixml community list), even our webdesigner can manage to create the screens.

No code, plain and simple.
